    Damn shame. At least he and Damien are now reunited up there.

    He lasted way longer than he should given his problems....

    That being said, the man was one of my favs growing up and had such a great heel character....arguably one of the best heels of all time. RIP Jake.

    As a tribute...."D-D-T! D-D-T! D-D-T!"

    Is there any hope that it's a hoax? Other than Wikipedia, I can't see anything else on it, not even on Twitter.

    If you look Jake dies yearly. Wikipedia is in a revert war now on his death.

    I am not sure this is true, although it may just be getting out. I hope it's not true

    I don't see any youtube comment people.....usually these people flock to whatever celebrities youtube videos and post within seconds of news breaking out. As good of an update as Twitter.

    Aurelian Jake Smith, Jr.[5] (born May 30, 1955) (death June 30, 2012)

    Sounds like bullshit to me.

    Yeah, I cannot find this anywhere other than Wikipedia.

    If so, it's sad to see that his demons finally caught up to him. It will be a very upsetting day if this is true. Jake has always been one of my favorites. This better not be true.

    Eh, I'm not too upset about this.

    I'll just go bring him back to life right now by editing the page.

    That can be updated by anyone....

    Besides whoever did that forgot to change "is" to "was" and didn't do the death notation correctly

    Maybe the editor plans to kill him?

    No death date as Blindy or Champ edited it back. A revert bot should then revert their change as vandalism.

    Just doing Jake a favor here. Between he and Scott Hall, they are great men of science history for both to be standing after all the drug/alcohol abuses over the years.

    Really, if you can't trust Wikipedia and "an Atlanta news station" for breaking news in this world, who can you trust?
